For me the dream is playing attacking football with a young team

featuring a few local lads if possible, finishing top half of the Premier League and somehow winning a trophy even if it’s just the League Cup.

If we achieved that just once I genuinely wouldn’t care what happened after. Look at Wigan - they capitulated but will always have the FA Cup win as the best day of their lives.

Other teams our size achieve it. But with us it feels like that’s never going to happen in a million years.
